Cartagena Vacation

Cartagena vacation can prove to be a welcome relief for those who are completely stressed out due to the tensions and pressures of their lives.
On Cartagena vacation, the tourists can visit many enthralling sightseeing venues and relish the mouth-watering cuisines which are a specialty of this Colombian city. The two major areas that contain most of the sightseeing spots are Boca Grande and El Centro.

Boca Grande has recently transformed into one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Latin American city of Cartagena. As a matter of fact, it is perfect for those visitors who just adore chilling out on the sea shore and viewing the waves surging up and down in the sea. The 'Chiva bus' is one of the very unique features of Cartagena. These vehicles do not possess a roof and contain an open bar to serve invigorating drinks to its passengers. There is a plenty of singing and dancing on these Chiva buses, once the sun sets. They also stop at various nightclubs and discos on the way. On the daytime, the tourists can try their hand at adventure sports like snorkeling, scuba diving, deep sea fishing and many more.

El Centro is another delectable site for tourists on a trip to Cartagena. This particular area has been declared to be a UN heritage site. This is due to the fact that it is home to a large number of historical buildings. These dazzlingly beautiful ancient mansions are the one of the main attractions for the tourists at Cartagena.

Other attractions for the tourists spending their holidays in Cartagena are Historic Center of Santa Cruz de Monpox, cathedrals and Andalusian style palaces in San Pedro, Gethsemani or the 'popular quarter' in San Diego and many more.
